About Exmoor Eventing

Richard and Daisy Trayford founded Exmoor Eventing in 2002 from their original base in Somerset's Exmoor National Park, UK. They have tirelessly built an enviable reputation and have become known as very honest, straight forward people to deal with.

Daisy has a small team of horses to compete, which enables her to give each horse the individual attention needed to bring them out at their best. An advanced level competitor, she has produced several horses through to 4* and still has her sights firmly set on competing at that level. Years of hunting, pony club, starting horses from scratch and competing on the European eventing circuit has given Daisy enviable 'old school' horsemanship only gained over time. She backs and starts all our homebreds herself and takes huge pride in building their futures. Daisy also enjoys coaching and teaching and has had amazing results with her clients - always a familiar face at most USEA events, she also offers motivation, support and advice to her students away from home.

Daisy also oversees our breeding program. We have two superb broodmares (read about them and their offspring on our breeding page) and select the most prestigious eventing lines for them to breed to. We hope our homebreds will soon be making impressive competition debuts.

Richard comes from a farming background and a horse family. He is from the 'old school' and sold many horses into hunting in the UK. Most of our young eventers were hunted by Richard and Daisy prior to starting their eventing careers. Richard helps Daisy source and pre-screen potential imports into the USA.

Richard also manages an event organization company called Equiventures, who currently run the winter eventing series at the Florida Horse Park. Find out more at www.equiventures.com.
